The Hideout is not your typical dude ranch

 

 
   

“The Hideout offers upscale, well maintained accommodations. However, if you would like to be more private or upgrade your lodging, we have a selection of nice log homes available you may choose from..

We also offer some of these lodges and homes for rent as vacation homes. Services can be either included as a package or billed separately a la carte.”

   

 

Why not choose these luxury homes for your next vacation?

 

Next to the unique experience, you will reside in comfortable, authentic western style lodges some of which are complete with fireplaces and all have magnificent vista views from every window.  You will have access to all the activities that one envisions when planning a trip out West.  Maybe you’d like to ride a fine horse through wide open country or up steep alpine meadows.  Or perhaps you envision standing knee deep in crystal blue waters rushing past you as you perform the perfect 10 & 2 arc with your fly rod, placing the fly into that hole where that 4 pound Rainbow sits daring you to catch him.  Or how about exploring one of the famous dinosaur digs in the area?  We’ve had two world class finds in 2007 alone!  

 

If you don’t feel like hiking, biking, swimming, riding or fishing, no worries, your luxury home with its inspiring vistas has been designed to relax you, mind, body and spirit.  Grab a seat on your porch and enjoy the brilliance of the ever changing colors of mountain green, desert brown and brilliant blue as they are reflected off the pond in front of you..

 

Hideout Homes

The Hideout Homes are beautifully constructed log and stone structures designed in the popular Alpine Lodge style. The landscape and construction materials were chosen with great care to reflect and blend with the earth tones of the high alpine desert landscape that stretch in every direction before you.

Each home features two master suites and one very comfortable guest room. The rooms share no common walls with the other bedrooms. The guest room is totally self contained with an impressive marble and a glass private bathroom, double closets and a plasma screen TV. 

Two spacious master suites are situated on either side of the central living area and a gourmet stainless steel kitchen makes one feel that they are retiring to their private wing of the home.

The rooms are beautifully decorated with designer comforters, linens, a plasma screen TV and furnishings that embody warmth and a unique sense of style that is the West. 

The French doors adjacent to your bed connect you to your outside private covered porch. 

Both master suites come with an oversize bath, lighted closets, two oversize sinks, toiletries, a full length lighted mirror and a separate oversize shower adjacent to the tub. Your master suite features a built in desk area that has a high speed internet hook up and cordless telephones in every room. The homes offer a spacious living room with open fire and big screen TV.

The Hideout Homes come with spacious Chef’s Kitchen stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, trash compactor and oversize walk-in panty and ever changing views of the Big Horn Mountains.

These homes are reserved well in advance so please call us today!

 

Trapper Lodge (available for rent Sunday to Thursday morning)

 

MAIN LODGE                           

 

The Lodge at Trapper Creek is the ultimate luxury vacation lodge rental!   This historical western style lodge is situated at the base of the Bighorn Mountains.  It was build in 1926 as a hunting lodge and vacation home by the Wyeths at the Trapper Canyon Ranch.  Some of the previous guests include Owen Wister, Teddy Roosevelt and Ernest Hemmingway. This lodge, entirely restored 3 years ago, offers an unparalleled sanctuary and solitude for the sophisticated vacationer.  Framed by ochre colored monoliths to the north and surrounded by velvety, green manicured lawns to the south, Trapper Lodge embodies the idyllic, secluded getaway.   

 

 

Trapper Lodge offers every conceivable comfort of home.  Features include: a chef kitchen, 3 private bath rooms, impressive great hall, breakfast nook with views of the apple orchards, lovely manicured grounds surrounded by fields of alfalfa, 3 luxurious guest suites guaranteed to delight and limitless opportunities to watch the abundant wildlife that lives on the property.    

                                                                 

 

Entry through the heavy oak door into the grand foyer is accentuated by enormous beams exposed throughout the great room.  It features vaulted ceilings, highly polished one hundred year old oak plank flooring and galvanized views through the French doors running the length of the great room are the masterpieces of this lodge.    

 

A large river rock fireplace surrounded by a comfortable enclave of overstuffed chairs and sofas punctuates one end of this impressive great room while flanked at the other end by the commercial chef’s kitchen.

Trapper Guest House & Cabin

 

 

Trapper Guest House and Trapper Cabin sit just a few hundred yards behind the Trapper Lodge.  Trapper Creek Lodge was originally built to be a private hunting resort and summer getaway for the owners of the Wyeth Pharmaceutical company back in 1929.  Guests at Trapper Creek have included Theodore Roosevelt and Owen Wister, who spent time here working on his well-known novel, ‘The Virginian’. Prior to 1929, Ernest Hemmingway was known to visit Owen Wister at the original ranch house, which you can see from both of these accommodations! 

The view hasn’t changed much; the trout fishing is still exceptional and being here is like stepping back in time one hundred years… only much more comfortable!

Although not as luxurious as The Trapper Lodge,  Families with children will love The Trapper Guest house featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen complete with cooking utensils and a fun sleeping loft! Perfect for fort building and playing Hide-n-Seek!

Recently remodeled, the interior of this spacious guest house has all the amenities of home.  Robes, towels, toiletries and a hairdryer are included and additional housekeeping services can be arranged if you so desire. You may be coming here to get away from it all, but activities abound at Trapper Creek.  It’s like being on your own thousand acre ranch in the middle of nowhere! 

Whether you want high adventure or solitary bliss, your home away from home at Trapper Creek provides a perfect escape.  Activities and services are available and reservations are limited so please call today.

 

Upper Hideout

Upper Hideout Cabins
 
The Upper Hideout is nestled amid a grove of tall pines up in the
Big Horn Mountains located at approximately 8,400 ft elevation.  It is a remote spot accessible by horseback or 4x4 vehicles after the snow pack has melted, usually in mid June.  Visitors and supplies are packed in and out during the summer and fall until heavy snow accumulation.

 

Wildlife is abundant and streams in the nearby canyons offer good fishing. Deer graze around the compound and you can hear the coyotes howl during the night.
 
For your safety and in case of emergency, there is a heated helipad nearby.  Helipads are also located on other areas on the property too. 
 
There are three cabins with lofts, which are the same as The Hideout cabins at The Hideout, same bathrooms but less decorated. All cabins have porches offering breathtaking views. On clear days, you may see the
Rocky Mountains, about 120 miles away.
There is a cozy central lodge called the Cook Shack which comes with a fully equipped kitchen.  It contains a wood stove, arm chairs, bathrooms, and two large dining tables for hearty meals or enthusiastic card games.
A roomy deck with a fine view overlooks the refreshing spring fed pond.  We also keep a guitar and board games for anyone who'd care to play.

 

The Upper Hideout Owners / Family Lodge

 

The Upper Hideout is a gorgeous three story log home built on top of Black Mountain and is only accessible via 4 wheel drive, helicopter, horse back or snowmobile depending on time of year.  This luxurious home features three very comfortable bedrooms on the lower level with two bathrooms, full laundry facilities and a cozy family room complete with rock fireplace.
